• Managing product operations, promoting enhancement of standard services and associated revenue opportunities across the Mixed Signal portfolio.
• Owning all product documentation including manuals, data sheets, user guides, application notes, and release documentation. Technical documentation will be a significant responsibility.
• Creating, updating, and maintaining accurate, customer-ready documentation that enhances customer experience and reduces support burden.

• Developing and execute product launch and marketing strategies.
• Collaborating with Line of Business leads on financial forecasting including bookings, revenue, and profitability.
• Developing strategies to increase product line profitability.
• Owning end-of-life planning, long-term supply strategies, and lifecycle management for all assigned mixed-signal products.
• Coordinating End-of-Life mitigation strategies (including lifetime buys, re-spins, and redesigns) with Supply Chain Management and Engineering.
• Track projects, documentation metrics, and product KPIs.

Required Qualifications:
